I'm trying to follow along with the video tutorial (Part 1) for SooperSeekrit. I have my project set up, my database running (Postgresql in my case), my migration, etc. When I go to run the app the first time (about 11 minutes into the video), it is supposed to connect to the database and create the user table. Instead I get a stack trace.

I've gone back and double checked everything, and it all seems fine. My JDBC driver is in the Library folder, etc. It seems that the database type isn't being identified somewhere. The stack trace (bottom of it) is below. I'd appreciate any help!

So, there are a few important things missing from the video tutorial; when using PostgreSQL, the PostresqlPlugin framework must be added, and specified. The information to figure this out wasn't present on the wiki.objectstyle.org web site. It really is a confusing web site - Confluence doesn't work that well. But I do now have it creating db objects.
